On Wednesday, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled a slew of new augmented reality glasses, including what he claimed to be the “first AI glasses with high resolution,” a new $799 version of its Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses that features a tiny screen that’s viewable to the wearer.
But it didn’t take long for the company’s MetaConnect 2025 keynote to descend into chaos. The social media giant’s demos repeatedly failed, leading to awkward stares, deafening silences, and muted laughter.
The poor showing painfully demonstrates that the tech is far from ready, even as companies continue to shove AI into every aspect of our daily lives.
Those ‘smart’ glasses look like some truly dystopian shit. They might record everything we see, and might record our surroundings through a slew of sensors embedded into the glasses. Honestly, I will stay away from these.
Yep. And since they’re made by “Meta”, any promise that those glasses aren’t constantly recording and over sharing - well, I won’t believe it.
Smart phones already do, but yeah camera on your face is even worse
Just wait till people wear them into restrooms.
Change the fucking doors!
You really think Meta/Facebook would do that? They’ve never done anything like that before!!

Everyone equates him to lex luthor, but honestly with this data mining shit he’s Jim Carrey’s Riddler without the humanity
Can’t wait until it bites him in the arse and he starts flapping around screaming he’s batman
Ok, I can get how he looks almost exactly like that version of the Riddler, but I don’t remember what was his villain plot in that Batman movie (Forever? &Robin?)
Forever, the 3D box that was siphoning everyone’s private thoughts
